Energy Logic: Reducing Data Center Energy Consumption by Creating Savings that Cascade Across Systems
[ Source: Emerson Network Power ]
August 2009-
This paper introduces the concept of the “cascade effect” and describes how it can be used to cut data center energy costs by 50% or more. Emerson Network Power came up with this vendor-neutral roadmap for optimizing data center efficiency, called Energy Logic, by applying the top ten energy-saving opportunities to a 5,000-square-foot data center model based on real-world technologies and operating parameters.
Outlining this sequential approach to reducing energy costs, this paper includes ....

July 2009-
The lack of a true data center efficiency metric is challenging to IT and data center managers as they try to justify much needed IT investments to management. To help quantify data center efficiency, Emerson Network Power introduces in this paper CUPS, or Compute Units per Second. Similar to miles-per-gallon metric in the automobile industry, CUPS is meant to represent the “performance” of the data center.
Using the Energy Logic analysis and the CUPS-based ....
Growing Data Sets Slowing Down Your Apps? Experience 100x Faster Application Performance

July 2009-
Enterprise data centers are struggling with large data sets with real implications for application performance, cost and competitiveness. While memory capacity has grown, distributed data center architectures require that many servers have access to the same data sets, often TBs in size and too large to fit in memory of any one server.
RNAcache provides a solution directly targeted at the root cause of this bottleneck; memory limitations. Because RNAcache dynamically scales to store ....
Optimizing Server Energy Efficiency
